Ridgeway is on a distinguished road
though one is within their rights to use a sbr hk94 or real mp5, suppressed or non it would seem pertinant to think about possible consequences

while a good shoot is a good shoot, if your in a country with a da who brings all shootings (including self defense) to a grand jury, i would imagine your choice of weapon could be used essentially to demonize you
kinda of the "black talon" effect- while you can use 'em it may not be wise (despite being an antiquated round)
what would you rather a average jury who knows nothing about guns see as the weapon used? a plebian s&w revolver would top my list, or a standard autoloader, or even a traditional non sbr ar15...the sbr issue could paint you in a bad light

read the h&k guys account, it's a long but very worthwhile read
i believe his conclusion was that he was @ least in part prosecuted and had such a difficult ordeal because of his usage of a machinegun

my sbr(s) sit in the safe. unless the zombies are battering down my door, i think it would be my last choice for self defense (despite being well suited for such a task)
